Early Language and Communication Workshop

Early Language and Communication: Collaborating to move from theory to action

Members of our improvement collaborative gathered to share a wide range of knowledge and experience on improving children’s early language and communication. Throughout the day we discussed the use of Quality Improvement to support our collaboration, used our collective knowledge and agreed what we will do next as a national improvement collaborative. We were joined by the new Regional Language Leads from Education Scotland who supported and challenged our thinking.

We introduced our evidence-based National Change Theory (see below), helping attendees to:

• Make connections with others focussing on the same issues locally and nationally
• Collectively agree what we need to work on together and consider how we bring focus
• Learn from others who are approaching similar challenges and consider what connections they need to continue to make following the conference
